potatoes, onion, apple and sausage, sauteed together, maybe with oregano or other herbs. really delicious and hearty. and how about desserts? I saw a recipe once for something that was cream, sugar and lime juice. the cream was simmered, sugar added and then the lime, then it was put into dishes and allowed to sit, and i guess to curdle and set. has anyone heard of this, or am I just making it up?

roasted chicken. olive oil, s&p, a fresh organic local chicken, and some time in a toasty oven. throw some potatoes in there if you're feeling crazy.

One good dish is shakshuka/eggs baked in tomato sauce, which can be done for both breakfast or dinner. You can use straight-up bought tomato sauce, or you can dress it up yourself (traditionally with onions, paprika, a little heat and maybe a bell pepper. I like it with lots of parsley too). Or if you have the time, make it from scratch with tomatoes, tomato paste etc. You could serve it with lavash. You could also do the mexican variation and serve it with beans and quesadillas, which are all as time consuming to make as you want them to be. I like that version with corn salsa. If the store you are going to sells pizza dough, that can be super quick an versatile, especially with vegitarians (ps feel you there! All veg roommies!) and though this might be too close to chili, you can always do a hearty lentil soup in the crock. And last idea- how about one night just a nice sandwich spread? Roast some eggplant one night while cooking other stuff, and maybe some other veggies, marinate some tofu, nice cheese or pesto and then you don't have to cook much after a long day. Unless you want to fry them or panini!! (my favorite thing!) And lets us know the final line-up. I'd like to know what actually turns out to be a good/bad idea after a hard day on the slopes. Good luck!
